6. Are you hurt?

Erica

I closed the door and waited to hear his footsteps fading away then only I made my way toward the bathroom. For some stupid reason my stomach was all fluttery and my fingers trembled slightly. With jerky hands I pulled my clothes off and got in the shower. It was the first time that I didn’t spend at least half an hour under the hot water sitting cross legged on the floor and counting numbers. And maybe it was the reason as I combed through my wet and tangled hair, that I gave in and pulled my drawer open to take out the pills I had gotten the other day. I had been tense before, and now with him showing up like that out of nowhere, my anxiety had gotten worse so I couldn't stop when an inner voice suggested that I need this crutch to get me through another day without breaking, especially in front of that beautiful, handsome, Italian mobste

  EricaWhen I stepped out it was a different man from before and he nodded at me as Antonio joined me. He put his large palm at the small of my back and this time I was confused if I was feeling the warmth from the scotch or from his hand, or maybe my skin was tingling because of the drugs. There was no telling it with so much intoxicating shit I indulged and still I thought it was mainly the man walking beside me that was making me unstable.When we reached the restaurant the doorman didn’t meet our eyes as he held the door open. And unlike all the time I had been to all you can eat buffets this place was totally empty. There was not one person to be seen. And it was shocking because it was Sunday and we weren't far from my college. “Why isn’t anyone here?” I asked the man walking beside me. And then, “Oh wait, you asked them to not give entry to

  EricaI woke up sweaty with filthy words echoing in my mind that made my whole body tremble as if restrained against bounds and fighting to get away. I looked around my room, my eyes searching as if someone would appear from thin air and I would blame him on my breakdown, when I knew well enough that the monsters I fight aren’t visible, they were never visible to begin with, not to be seen. Only to feel and hear. They were just dark forms with offensive words that made my skin crawl. That made me vomit and hurt like needles under my skin.I wiped my brow on my sleeve and slidoff the bed. In a desperate attempt to not think about my nightmares I turned my thoughts to the tempting devil that had dropped me at my dorm without a word and with just a brush of his lips against mine. If he was playing at hard to get then he w

  EricaI stood up from my chair, ready to walk out as I picked my purse and finished the last few sips of my wine. Just as I passed him, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to a stop. I didn’t look at him, instead kept my eyes on the glass doors where his two men stood like sentries. I was starting to hate him. No, I already hated him. How many glasses of that wine did I had? Or maybe it was just the man making me crazy. God, I can’t believe I was so wound up because he hadn’t contacted me in the last eleven days. The fucker.When I didn’t look up at him, he gripped my chin and tilted my head. Looking into my eyes with that unusual gaze, he said, “You are angry.”I snorted. “Do you want a medal here and now, or would you like to hold a ceremony for it?”

  Erica We were sitting in his office, on the couch and he was close, so close that our thighs were touching. So close that I could smell him and feel his heat. But still so far away because he wasn’t doing anything. Right now, his attention wasn’t even on me, he was watching his man pour two fingers of scotch in the square glasses and then place the bottle on the table in front of us before he nodded and left us alone. Finally, he picked one glass and turned to me, holding it out for me. I took it from him and started to sip. He picked his own glass, and I watched his long fingers wrapping around that glass and wanting them on my skin, making my skin tingle. I gulped more of the smooth scotch.

• CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance    11. You are not mine (Yet)

  EricaAntonio tasted of scotch and a smoky masculine texture that was all him. I tried to squirm my hands free but he tightened his hold sending a slight twinge of pain which only made my legs spread for him and a tingle of pleasure settled between my legs. His eyes were open, those golden eyes looked into mine, peering deep down as if he could see my secrets. I closed my eyes and tried to control the kiss.I battled his tongue with mine and sucked his bottom lip between my teeth, only to bite down on it. His fingers twitched around my wrists and his hand on my breàst squeezed as if in retaliation. I moaned and the kiss turned rougher when we both fought for control. When we parted, both of us were breathing heavily. I could feel my lips swollen and his didn’t look much better.

• CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance    12. A piece on my chess board

  AntonioI was standing in the balcony where not an hour ago I’d had my first taste of a pussy that should be forbidden to me. Her taste still lingered on my tongue, sweet and tangy. I hadn’t ate a pussy in last sixteen years, not since I stopped taking pleasure in the sense of that very name, I used sex as necessary evil just to relieve the sexual energy that every man has. Now I stood with my sleeves rolled up and a cigar dangling from my fingers as my mind churned with thoughts. Thoughts that were still filled with her. I clenched my jaw wanting to banish them, they had no right to be there, all my focus should be on revenge. But since the first time I met Erica Cavanagh with her ordinary dark brown eyes, straight dark hair and lips that spewed insults and words that were filled with her sass and gave a hint of all the fucks she gave to the world around her: none, my mi

  EricaOne month later...“Miss Cavanagh!” I cringed and jerked up in my seat as I became aware of the eyes on me. The whole class looked over their shoulders at me where I sat at the back near the window. “Is there something more interesting than what I’m teaching here outside that window?”“Of course, there is. For one, I am not bored looking at those pigeons, even they are more interesting than your lecture.” I didn’t realise I had spoken out loud until I heard the gasps and murmurs and a few snickers that echoed around me.Professor Martinez, who had hated me from day one flushed bright red.

  EricaI hugged my brother- in- law tightly and realized that I had missed him. His big hand patted my back a few times before he pulled back and straightened. He was a tall man with a bearing of someone that belonged to a royal family, considering he was an heir to a dukedom before he decided to rule the New Orleans it was given. But still, he stood out different from the way he carried himself, to the way he looked. Broad shoulders, sharp cheekbones and midnight hair. The softness in his blue eyes reserved only for a few people that were important to him gave me comfort after what happened in the class.I asked, “Where is Summer?”“You will meet her at the hotel. We are having dinner together.” I fell in step beside him as he started walking. He said, “I will wait for you to change and get ready.&rdq
